    Looks like you would want to finish either #1 or #6.......unless you need the home games to help your financial bottom line!

    Call me dumb, but why should the 6th place team get a bye to the championship, ever?

    How about 1 and 2 get byes
    3 vs 6 best of 3;4 vs 5 best of 3.semis best of 3. Finals best of 5. That, my friends, is how rocket science is done.

    Right on. The #6 gets to play in a best of five series. Has a better chance of pulling it out in that series instead of a best of three.......

    The team that should be tee'd off is number 5. What a rip off.
